Dark But Beautiful – Lisa Lopez

podcast November 2, 2023


Background
share close

The inspiring Lisa Lopez shares a story of resilience and self-discovery, having grown up as a victim of colorism. Throughout her childhood, she faced comments about her dark skin, often veiled as 'compliments,' such as being 'pretty for a dark-skinned girl' or suggestions about marrying a lighter-skinned person. Unbeknownst to her, society was making distinctions based on the shade of one's skin.

One day, she encountered a verse in the Bible, 'I am dark but beautiful.' This verse spoke to her on a deep level, as it seemed to echo her personal journey. Inspired by this, Lisa launched a merchandise line named 'Dark but Beautiful', available for purchase at darkbutbeautiful.com

Lisa's story is a testament to overcoming societal biases and embracing your unique self. Her journey continues to inspire and remind us all that we are not defined by our skin color but by our character and actions.  She hopes to create a more inclusive and diverse industry through her work at Stisa Talent Agency, where she actively seeks out and represents talented individuals from all walks of life.

Through her talent agency, Lisa and her husband have built a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and uniqueness, making their agency the go-to for casting directors across the United States. Stisa Talent Agency, the premier talent agency in South Carolina, caters not only to Fortune 500 companies but also local businesses, placing actors, models, and voiceover artists in feature films alongside A-listers, national TV commercials, nationally broadcast television shows, national print ads, and runway shows.
